What is DiddleBug?
DiddleBug is an application for the Palm family of handheld computers. It is similar to a yellow-sticky note in that it allows you to scribble information onto your Palm device using digital ink. You can set alarms for each note from a pop-up list, and DiddleBug will not let you forget your reminder. In addition, DiddleBug has IntelliBoogerTM extensions that allow you to transfer information from within DiddleBug to other applications, such as the built-in ToDo and DateBook apps. DiddleBug is based on the Diddle sketching engine, and has similar functionality to BugMe!, which explains the DiddleBug name. Users of Diddle will find the interface familiar, with the same menu shortcuts and the same hideable titlebar. DiddleBug is free to use and licensed under the GNU General Public License. DiddleBug is a work in progress. If you have any suggestions for improvement, or find a bug in the program, please mail me (Peter Putzer). You can download DiddleBug here.
Please note: this version of DiddleBug requires at least PalmOS 3.5. For older devices, version 2.15 is still available here.

Freehand sketching with user adjustable smoothing and filtering. A variety of pen widths and shapes, including ones for Caligraphy! Sketching of lines, circles, rectangles, ovals, and other shapes.
